Shivering flakes fall
Glowing lava flows
Flame fire meets freeze ice

I think overall, this looks very good. It looks so cool and ancient with wrinkles. However, I did face some challenges. Like the white paint I used rubbed off during the ink wash off. But it stained and made it look awesome. One thing I would change if I did this again, would be not to use white temper paint.

Working with the clay was pretty easy for me. Nothing broke off or something looked out of shape. I was going to make a sword fish out of the clay and planned on making a long nose. I thought about a long nose breaking off. I didn't do it, but I still managed to make the nose pointy, and the mouth was on the bottom of the fish.
Every thing looks great. The green and the purple were a little darker than I expected, but overall, I think it was most successful. On one eye, when I was glaze painting, the black went all over. I used a sponge, then painted it with clear, and now you can't see a thing.
